did you see it and what were your impressions? I watched it with my female friend who is of half potuguese descent which alone makes it hard for initial discussion on my part alone. So i decide to ask you... What do you think about Countries like brazil and their condition which hasn't changed much other than their Euorocentric ideals and industrial trade. I ask these because i am all for Social reform, but when you see how chaotic civilized culture can become and in a more gradual affect, atleast in an historical sense, often leads to an archaic society. I guess what i'm getting at is barring the extent of suppression, do you think it is equality worth the sequential affects of war and Revolt, even when it may mean starting at square one.

What are you talking about? Is this a movie? a painting? what? I'm assuming you're not referring to the book.
Cidade de Deus "City of God" is a movie base on the true-life book of Paulo Lins work of see here: IMDB Rotten Tomatoes Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Won quite a few awards
Not even to visit a Sao paulo beach? All kidding aside i would second that statement, i'd either get kidnapped and or killed to be used as a drug trafficking host via body passage. All that within the hour of getting off of the plane Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I saw that movie. As you may have notice, the language of the movie is portuguese, so its better to get sure that if u buy the DVD you have subtitles on your language. Anyway, the movie is a great reflection of the "favelas" (brazilian guetos) and the hard life they live on their. The movie is just amazing, very cruel and real, not like the typical hollywood action movie, altought there are some comical elements on the movie. I really advise to see that movie, its great!
i have heard of this film, and want to see it a while ago there ws a docu. about Brazillian slums, te Flavellas, and it really shoked me. of course i had seen about tem, but the presenter went right into the heart of it, and also spoke to 'gangsters' there........... you saw te utter pile on pile living. no space and built up on itself ther was a terrible terrible scene i'll NEVER ever forget, all caught on camera. you see a cop van and in front they have a young white male...he isinolved with drugs we are told. the police fuker is screakming at him, and tis young lad is powerless in his arms, and handcuffed......camea sees him taken round the van and he is shot dead by the cop. we are told tis happens a lot caise the jais are so full..!!!! then we get the experience of one ofthose jails. utterly tragic. it is a cell CRAMMED with mianly black , manly young, males....heads are leaning out of th bars on like top of each other. and outside a church service is going on you saw cops firing into te Flvvella at youngmen, and them firing bak. a common occurance. te young men speaking to camera say that they are always under attack by thepolice and they have to fight or die. tere aree really young lads who are carring big powerful guns fukin horrific
Not only the police is like that: the thugs themselves can be worst. I heard a lot of storys (about Brazil, i wonder if they are real) like smuf (or smurf or snuf, dont know the real name) videos where they kill people and record that on camara to seel it later. I remember to see somewhere (and it was not on internet, at some years a go) a video where a thug went near a car that stop on a road signal, and then he killed the driver with a shot on the head. Horrible!! Of course that these storys are abot the worst part of Brazil. I never went there but some friends of mine say that its a nice country, amazing. Besides, lets not forget that some of the most beautiful women in the world are Brazilian Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
They are called snuff movies. i can we;ll believethat goes on. because when you are in such an environment which is boh horrendous and with all the battered to fuck psychologies, soul/feeling is lost. it is uterly awful. horror!...and it cant ever be forgotten....you cant pretend it isn't happenning. no matter ho painful and how helpless you are. othewise tis means your feeling is going. thats what has happened. NOone cares here in Manchester we have slums. not as dramatically evil as Brazil, but also heavy and grim. thers been a craze growing here called video slappin.....they take movies on teir mobile phones--the youth--of hurting people. one man, who had been out having a drink and fallen asleep in the street was set on fire by two youngmen. you caould see them filin it...heard tem laughing, and arranging bits of cardboars around him. first they trw firewarks at him, and thet him on fire and laughed....others have been severely beaten and this includes schoolkids doing it to other young kids.....so you see tis has a link with te more 'fatal' behaviour inBrazil. it is a sadism were the soul is lost. tere is no more feeling anymore for these peple
Such people should burn in hell! Fortunatly, some of these storys we hear or videos we see are fake, like a kind of urban legend.
hope so. but i am sure many are real too! the utter irony of Brazil is the statue of Jesus overlooking the place with all that division beytween great wealth and utter poverty.........it shows me anywayhow that myth as well as secular myth coming from it maintains that fukin shit. get me? i am not being funny with you here, cause i like u ..hehe. but where you said 'i hope they burn in hell' is somethin i also sayt think, but when u look AT that. it is part of that Christan myth isn't it? the idea that we come from nothin and if we bad we burn forever..... fukin shite what a bummer. so imagine. your live is in te Flavella....voila, from nutin to THIS....hell. wit threat of eerlastin hell. ven ifmany dont believe this myth has effect cause its prt of pradgim of tis times. obviously when u freak and go bad, you might as WELL go really evil. cause bible says yer damned. ie. myth contributes to division, and evil. dont know if you agree, or .......?
